Carrageenan extracted from Eucheuma sp. red algae has potential benefit to develop edible film. Eucheuma Sp. red algae used in this research were harvested from Pantai Selatan, a beatiful beach lies at Gunung Kidul resort, Jogjakarta Province, Indonesia. First objective of this research was proximat analysis of coarse-ground Eucheuma sp. red algae. Thirdly, weight loss analysis of green grapes wrapped by carrageenan edible film. Coarse-ground Eucheuma Sp. algae containde water, ash, protein, fat, and carbohydrate (by different) respectively 11,20%, 18,19%, 15,42%, 2,19% and 53,0%. Carrageenan extracted from Eucheuma sp. contained lower sulphuric (13,79%) than commercial carrageenan (Wako Chem.). Carrageenan edible film wrapping was not effective to reduce weight loss of green grapes.
